This fixture in previous seasons has produced some fantastic goals and shock results and we will be hoping for more of the same come Saturday at 5:30 live on Sky Sports

Villa have started the season better than expected as many tipped them to go down. Yet Paul Lamberts men have defied everyone by winning 3 out of their 5 leagues games; most notably away against Liverpool. However, two 3-0 defeats against Arsenal and Chelsea have brought the midlands club back to reality and they will not want too suffer a third defeat on the bounce. Roy Keane becoming assistant manager has added some steal into the dressing room and appears to have had a positive impact on the field. Fabian Delph, in particular, has excelled so far this season and his sensational form was rewarded with his first England cap. Villa will be eager to collect some points on Saturday but know they will face a stern test from the Champions.

Man City, on the other hand, have struggled for form and momentum so far this season, as they look to retain the Premiership title for the first time. However, the blistering early season form of Chelsea has left The Citizens 5 points off the leaders. Similarly, a disappointing mid-week draw against Roma in the Champions League has only added to the current blues around the Etihad. However, there is no doubting the world-class ability Manuel Pellegrini has at his disposal.

Sergio Aguero again proves to be one of the best strikers in the world by continuing to boast an amazing goal to game ratio and has certainly hit the ground running this season. Having already got 5 goals this season in 8 matches, City will again look to Aguero to find the back of the net again come Saturday. Sergio Aguero to score first is 7/2 with Ladbrokes.

This game always produces goals and given how both teams have played this season in an attacking manner, there are sure to be plenty on Saturday. The pitch will be full of attacking, direct players for both which should add to our chance of seeing plenty of goals. Over 2.5 goals is 8/11 with William Hill

In recent season Villa have had some joy at taking points away from Man City most notably last season where they won 3-2 thanks to some dodgy goalkeeping from Joe Hart. However, it will be hard to see anything past a City win on Saturday given the quality they possess all across the field from defence to attack. Man City to win is 8/15 with Ladbrokes.
